Jerry,

Here's the pic of the switch mounted in the turn signal housing. It's momentary 3 position switch. Push to one side and air pump comes on, push to the othe side dump solenoid opens.

Hey you DB guys:

Just a quick question: Does the valve on DB's system bleed off back at the compressor when you toggle to lower the bike?

Just wondering since my setup is different and bleeds out of the dump button itself.

Not better, not worse. Just different.

lp,

It's pretty tight inside there, that's the reason I had to make that spacer (the silver part). The spacer is machined out of 316 stainless, this was need to move the switch out to make room for the wires inside the turn signal housing. I'm contemplating making an entire new housing that would mount below the radio control button. Basicaly extend the housing downward and have the button mounted on the front. That will be a rainy day project.
